New to Grow
A lot of my clients come in feeling stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break—whether that’s anxiety, relationship stress, or reacting in ways they regret later. Things can escalate quickly, or it can feel like you “know better” but still end up in the same situations. I help people slow those moments down and understand what’s actually happening, so they can start making different choices. My approach is direct, supportive, and focused on helping you feel more in control—without judgment.
In our first session, we’ll focus on what’s been going on and where things tend to go off track. I’ll ask questions to understand the patterns—especially the moments where reactions or emotions start to build. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of what’s happening and a starting point for how we can begin changing it.
I’m especially good at helping people understand what’s happening in the moment—not just after the fact. A lot of clients feel like things move too fast when they’re stressed or overwhelmed. I help slow that down so you can see your options and respond differently. I also bring a steady, direct style that works well when things feel intense, while still keeping the space collaborative and grounded.
I work with adults and couples navigating conflict, stress, and patterns that feel hard to break. Many clients feel frustrated by repeating the same reactions or conversations, especially in high-pressure or emotional situations. Often, they understand what they want to do differently, but struggle to follow through in the moment. My approach is practical, human, direct, and collaborative, focused on helping you understand what’s happening, slow things down, and build more effective, consistent ways of responding.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients identify patterns in their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that keep them stuck. Together, we break down real-life situations to understand what’s driving reactions and build more effective responses. My approach is practical and collaborative, focusing on insight, skill-building, and lasting change.
Couples Counseling
In couples work, I focus on helping partners understand the patterns they get pulled into—especially around conflict, communication, and unmet expectations. I work to slow down interactions, clarify underlying needs, and help each person take more effective responsibility within the relationship. The goal is not just resolution, but creating a more stable and workable dynamic.
Forensic Psychology
My background in forensic psychology informs how I understand behavior, accountability, and decision-making under stress. I help clients examine patterns related to impulsivity, conflict, and high-stakes situations, with a focus on increasing awareness, responsibility, and control. This approach is especially helpful for individuals navigating legal, behavioral, or high-consequence environments.
Motivational Interviewing
I use Motivational Interviewing to help clients work through ambivalence and build internal motivation for change. Rather than pushing direction, I help clients clarify what they want, what’s getting in the way, and how to move forward in a way that aligns with their values. This approach is especially useful when change feels difficult or inconsistent.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-focused work helps clients identify what’s already working and build from there. I focus on clear, achievable steps that move clients toward their goals, rather than getting stuck in the problem. This approach is practical, goal-oriented, and designed to create momentum quickly.
